UNSPSC 50425601: Dried long white potatoes

The variety of potatoes known as long white potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425601 Dried long white potatoes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried and processed potato products supplied to state and local food service operations, principally school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. State and local buyers use this code to procure shelf-stable potato items for large-scale meal preparation, typically as components of broader grocery or food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Illinois), and municipalities (the City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts and state correctional and food-service agencies dominate solicitation activity, with recurring multi-year contracts structured to support daily meal service to thousands of students or incarcerated individuals.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Statewide Procurement Division solicited cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF (Texas Comptroller, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covering approximately 382 line items across five TDCJ warehouse distribution points; Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items spanning over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026, electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS); and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools. These contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options, require firm fixed pricing for 12 months, mandate delivery compliance with food-safety and USDA standards, and are awarded on lowest responsive bid or best value basis with evaluation emphasis on compliance, price, and vendor performance history.
